It will include suggestions on how to make your code available and usable for others (including a strong suggestion to document it clearly so you don't have to reply to lots of email questions from future users). Resources will be persistently available after the talk and all audience members will leave knowing there is something they can do to step towards making their research reproducible.<br><br><b>Bio</b><br>Kirstie Whitaker is a Research Fellow at <a href="https://www.turing.ac.uk/">The Alan Turing Institute</a> (London, UK).
